How to make laptop automatically adjust screen resolution?

This is probably a silly question but I have just got a new laptop. While playing games on it, I was frustrated by the black borders of the screen on both sides. I was able to make the computer automatically adjust the resolution to the game that I'm playing so that the black space was filled. But today it has stopped doing that.

I've forgotten how to put it back and I've looked for how to turn this option on again but I can't figure it out.

I do believe what you have to do is go into the game settings and set the resolution to match what your screen supports.

I tried that initially. The game is about 8 years old and the laptop is new so the game has black corners no matter what resolution I give it. Also, before, the screen automatically adjusted for several games. Now they all have black corners on the sides.

There is a function that will allow me to set up the screen to fit whatever is on it but I can't find it. :/

I have to manually select it from the task bar each time when I use it as a tablet
Is there a way round this? Thanks

Well I've had my laptop for almost 5 months now, however I did break it and got a screen replacement yesterday. Ever since then my screen seems dim. I've altered all the settings (as explained on other threads) but I still can't get to the centre of the problem. I had no trouble altering my...

Hi,
I'm trying to play Machinarium on my Dell XPS 12--which has a resolution of something like 1920x1080 on a 12.5 inch screen. Machinarium only has a resolution of something like 1280x800, so it looks really small on my screen. I'd rather not have to manually change the resolution, run the...

My new Acer laptop has very disappointing screen and video quality. The screen resolution is maxed-out at 1366 x 768 with Intel HD Graphics 4000. Those specs should be just fine for great visuals. My old desktop didn't come close to that but I could watch Youtube videos very well with no...

Previously when I was using Windows 7, the system restore points were created automatically whenever I installed a new SW or made other similar system change. But it seems not the case in Win 8 any more.
I am a SW developer. Although I normally test our SW on virtual machines, but some other...
